British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and PEI invite candidates in this week’s PNP draws
Five provinces have invited candidates to apply for provincial nomination this week.
Immigration is a shared responsibility between the federal and provincial governments, Because of this, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) was established in 1998 to allow provinces to nominate the economic immigration candidates they feel have the best chance of economically establishing within the province.
The federal government releases the total number of PNP nominations each year in the Immigration Level Plans and divides it among the provinces. The current immigration levels plan has a target of 117,500 new permanent residents admitted through the PNP per year by 2025.
